In crafting a remake of “The Three Stooges,” one must wonder if there are still people who go in for cheap entertainment centered on total numskulls.
In a time where “Jersey Shore” is adored by millions, clearly that’s not an issue, and when those two worlds collide, there’s only one appropriate response: Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck!

The Moffat County High School varsity baseball team lost both games of a doubleheader Saturday against visiting Palisade at the Craig Middle School field.
The first game looked promising by the end of the fourth inning, as the Bulldogs briefly got on a roll to tie the score, 2-2.
Once the team got back on the field, Palisade took control with a vengeance, scoring 10 runs in the next three innings.
“We fell apart,” junior Jacob Teeter said between games.

Earth Day, to me, means taking care of the planet, mostly around our own area, not littering, picking up the trash when and where we can, doing yardwork, removing and disposing of trash, etc.
Gardening, or getting the plot ready, and beautifying things makes things better in so many ways, no matter where you are.
I used to like to come home and do yardwork, water the lawn, rake, or clean my cactus plant patch. That sure made for prickly situations.
I sure miss my yard.

"A man in scoring position in a 1-1 game — the worst that could happen is you fail. It happens a lot," Cuddyer said. "You have got to relish those opportunities."

Classic stories never grow old.
Perhaps not every adaptation of every single fairy tale deserved to see the light of day, but “Mirror Mirror” is certainly among those that reflect pretty well on the film industry.

A Colorado pastor's mother and a suspect are dead after both were shot outside a suburban Denver church.
Authorities say the pastor's mother was shot when she went outside the New Destiny Christian Center in Aurora just as services were ending Sunday. They say an off-duty officer was in the congregation and shot a suspect.
Police told CBS-4 in Denver (http://cbsloc.al/J378zi) that the shooting happened after there was an argument between people in two vehicles in the parking lot outside the church.
Pastor De Lono Straham told 9NEWS in Denver (http://on9news.tv/HUxJR4 ) that his mother passed away after the shooting Sunday evening.

George Zimmerman was released around midnight Sunday from a Florida county jail on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.
The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag. He walked out following another man and didn't look over at photographers gathered outside. He then followed the man into a white BMW vehicle and drove away.
Moments before, two Seminole County sheriff's vehicles blocked access to the intake building parking lot where Zimmerman was being released. Zimmerman emerged after two public information officers confirmed the credentials of the photographers outside.
No questions were shouted at Zimmerman, and he gave no statement.
